GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Government
bonds dull and steady.
Stocks were moderately active. Most
OF the business was done in spots. There
was little or no foreign trading, the close
ness OF the two markets leaving no mar
gin for arbitrage business. The opening
was generally strong, the first prices
showing an advance of b@s over fridays
closing. There was active traGs
ing during the first hour. Dealings
were accompanied by considerable
feverishness and irregularity. The entire
market finally yielded, Richmond and
West Point being especially noticeable
for the decline established. The same
state of affairs continued, with several re-
actions, until p. m, when general up
ward movement took place which gath
cred force toward the close and the mar
ket closed moderately active and strong
close to the best figures reached. The
sales were S,690,S37 shares. The net re-
suit of the days transactions is that q
majority OF the stocks are small fractions
higher than en- Friday evening. There
were only two important advances: Jer-
sey Central lSc, and Reading lSc.
There was moderate business in rail-
road bonds, Gnd the sales are SLICE, 900

spicuously active. The fluctuations in the
